In my country the ceapest mechanical keyboard would cost over 100$ and looking at my sig I could invest those money somewhere else

That's a fair price. Have to remember a Cherry switch costs about $1, over 100 per keyboard. Then there is the rest of the keyboard to manufacture, cable, sometimes software. A mech keyboard will last for ever if taken care of though. But a $15 keyboard every year vs. a $100 board every several years is something to think about.

But yea. Understandable you want to upgrade the rig first.

I understand that It would be better to buy a mechanical keyboard but I don't have the money

So, between these two, which one would you choose? Because I can't say that I hate any of these two. I just say that I like the first one a litle more

I'm still using mine "Logitech UltraX media keyboard" from 2006 i guess. It was like 15$ too. It had experienced some beer, some orange juice, lots of food and smashing, but it still works fine. Had some sticking keys and broken membrane, but lil bit of tin foil and time fixed it

i would test it...i know a lot of people who only type on their notebook and don't like the feel of a normal keyboard. It always comes down to what you like! There is no real right answer...yes mechanical keyboards will work forever, but not everyone likes them...

You might want to look at cherry keyboards. they make cheap ones at around ~25$ and they are still better than most other cheap keyboards

My friend is using chiclet keyboard. My opinion, they easily bottom out and good for faster response typing if your hands fly around the keys. I would never go for a product that says "gaming". There are pros and cons on each other. If membrane rubber tears, you can easily replace them by using your old keyboard rubber done to replace them. For chiclet, faster response and I'm not sure how a chiclet wears off.
